shame the slums of Bridge street. and
we accord him perfect right to hold
his sentiments unquestioncd bv us.
1t is pleasure to come in contact
with Colonel PARROT in any character
because he Il, broad viewed, intelli-
gent and honest. and he is no black
guard. 1t i, unfortunate for PROM.
bition there are no more PARROTS in
its ranks.
WE do not understand why George
CLARK should get So awful mad at
Tom Bonner for saving that Clark
was getting $50 900 for his services
rs chief executive officer of the anti
prohibitiont-ts. The truth is il he
is not getting it, lis ought to have 1t.
rhe sort OF work he is doing, the
modification OF All honored pride and
the loss of selfrespect, ought TO DC
well paid for Bottom Journal.
Does tie Bolton Reporter know
what honorable pride or seli-respect
is. We doubt it and will always do
so AS long as it continues to publish
such matters as the above.
The increase in the tax rate which
is cvitable If the amendment is rat
flied, will operate TO prevent all ill.,
telligcut business men from voting it.
No prudent business man will vote to
place tax burdens upon the people
simply to CRAFTY a sentiment. Money
is hard fact. Prohibition is beauti-
tul abstraction, rs charming, though
as unreal, as valley IN Utopia.
THE prophet who predicts that
Waco and NcI.ennan county will both
give prohibition majoritcs on August
it'll, viii not rank with Elijah in the
great beyond, 'as our friend plunkctt
would say.
lr Is n strange circumstance that
nobody i'm Waco ever received
threatening letters anonymously
written until Patriot Cranfill found Il
domicilc amongst Us.
Hos. GEORGE CLARK Is working
night and day for the cause int
which he has put lis whole heart, and
with the tairest prospects OF ultimate
and glorious success.
ANp Smith county where thos,
great patriots Bonner and llcrndon
both reside, will 90 anti by good
majority. We'll, things are eNaspert-
ting sometimes.
CARROLL on Jefferson will not
rank rs high as Coke upon Littlcton,
Indeed Carroll puts his foot into it
overtime h. mentions the great apos-
tie democracy.
DoN'r vote for the amendment On
the theory that it will prevent drunk
enness. Carroll himscl says it is not
intended to prevent men from drink.

MIR. JAS. /. MOORE deserve Infinite
credit for his earnest though unavail-
ing efforts to preserve the peace in
the Bagby.Gerald matter.
EVERYONE deplores the personal
cast given the campaign here lately
by the irresponsible hangers on of
the prohibitlonists.
The prohibition campaign has
abandoned the realms of reason.
Nltuperahon and abuse ara all that is
left them.
The eiligy was stubborn and it is
still hanging, There was no great
outrage possible in mere bundle of
rag,
PERHAPS East Waco will 20 for
prohibition If it does that is the
only ward when will do 20 in the
city
CRANFILL is rapidly becoming hot
IN the collar. Poor fellow and there
IS nearly two months of it left
WHERE there is SO much religion
there ought to be little less temper
oELF-rRoHrBrIoN j, the only yari
ETY. OF the craze worth nickel.
ARGUMENTS better than humping,
1t gets more votes.
The Statesman is doing some good
anti work now.
RUE temperance Is personal.
